SAVING THE TEETH.

Irreparable Injury Done by So Called
Dentifrices-A Dentists Prescription.
What should a man use to clean his
teeth.' was the question asked of a well
knowndsntist recently. The dentist replied
at once, 'Nothing but water. There are
more good teeth ruined by so called denti-
frices than by all other causes in the world
put together. The object of the makers of
these dentifrices is, of course, to produce a
preparation that will, with very little rubbing
of the brush, make the teeth look perfectly
clean and white. To accomplish this they
put pumice stone, and sometimes strong
alkalies, in their preparations, Pumice stone
will unquestionably take all the tartar off the
tooth, and it will also, just as unquestionably,
take all the enamel with it. An alkali will
make yellow tooth like white in a few
seconds, but before week has passed it will
have eaten away nearly all the enamel and
utterly destroyed the tooth.
in walking along the street YOU often see
'fakir,' by way Of advertising his patent
dentifrice, call a small boy from the crowd
near by and opening the boys mouth rub the
dentifrice on his dirty teeth, and in minute,
almost take off all the tartar and make the
uctuh ipch IcA lCStif luiC anu " WV, a
man like that 'fakir' ought to he arrested, for
he has forever destroyed that boys teeth.
His preparation, composed of a powerful
alkah, is eating away the enamel of the boy's
teeth, and in a few months the poor young
ster will not have a sound tooth in his head.
The dentifrices composed chiefly of pumice
stone are not as bad as those containing an
| alkali, becausa they will not destroy the teeth
SO quickly; But if used habitually they will
as certainly destroy them in the end.
Il should advise man by all means to use
| no dentifrice of any description, unless it be
| prepared chalk II this is used not oftener
than once a week, it will not injure the teeth

were composed simply of orris root and pre-
pared chalk, they would be harmless enough
if not beneficial. My own plan is to use
moderately hard brush and plenty of cole
water and nothing else, and my teeth are il
excellent condition. II people would only
pick their teeth carefully after each meal
making sure that not the slightest particle o
food remained near tile gums or between tn
teeth, and would also, before retiring at night

Anniversary Celebration of the
Union of the Two German Soci-
cites of St. Paul.
Turner hall was gaily decorated last
evening in honor of the first anniversary
of the union of the two German societies
of the city-the German society founded
in 1850, and the Turner's, organized in
1858. The stage was almost con-
cealed from the view of the au-
dience by mass of flowers and
trailing vines, while on each side
of it were the banners of the two soci-
cites. The blue banner of the German
society, which, by the way, is the oldest
banner possessed by any German soci-
ETY. in the state, fianked the stage on
the right, and the white satin emblem
of the Turner's on the left. The Ger
man banner has history. 1t was pre-
scented to the society soon after its Or
ganiZation in 1855, and on the burning
of the Atheneum was secured by one
of the members of the society at the
risk of his life. and it is consequently
one of the idols worshiped by the So
ciety.
Admittance was only upon invitation,
and invitations were sent to members
only. The evenings entertainment was
commenced by all overture by Seibert'S
orchestra, after which the opening adj
dress was delivered by George Rink, the
first speaker of the society. Music by
the M@nnerchOr was followed by
exercises on the horizontal bar
by the prize class, composed of HI.
Schlichting. j. E. Nellie, r. G. List, A.
Gerlach, w. Bosche and J. Fischer.

vision then did some elegant tumbling

Representative Potter, of Houston

is not meant that he purloinS anything
which he finds lying around loose, but
it is meant that he wants copy OF
every report or public document issued
by state officials, from the gov
ernOr down to the findings of the
most unimpOrtant committee. He not
only wants these things, but he gets
them. On the breaking up of the legiS-
lature last spring the Houston county
sOlon availed himself of the franking
privilege and packed up so much free
literature that it required an exclusive
dray to freight it to the depot. Yes
terday he aecidently discovered that the
archives of the capitol contained some
reports embracing millions of dry fig
ures that he had not seen and he
straightway began to load up. When

bucks and young men concerned in the
raiding expedition against the Piegans,
which is at the bottom of the
trouble, and they will constitute
the prisoners who are to be sent to
the fort. The termination of the Indian
trouble was doubtless appreciated by the
cavalry column at Fort Meade, which
will remain at that post instead of scour-
ing the country for Indians, and orders
were sent yesterday to the infantry and
cavalry at Fort McKinnon that their
services were no longer needed and that
they could return to any of the south

turbed region, and when he does he will
